What this research studies
We are exploring how to best blend digital health tools, like mobile apps and telehealth, with in-person care to create more effective and accessible support for individuals facing substance use challenges and HIV risk. While digital tools offer convenient, real-time help, they sometimes struggle with keeping people engaged. Human-delivered services are often more engaging but can be costly. This project focuses on figuring out the ideal balance between these two approaches, using data to tailor support that is both effective and easy to access.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: This work is relevant for individuals with or at risk for substance use disorders and HIV who could benefit from improved integrated care services.
Not a fit: Patients not seeking support for substance use disorders or HIV prevention would not directly benefit from this particular research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lead to more personalized, engaging, and widely available support services for individuals dealing with substance use disorders and HIV prevention.
How similar studies have performed: While digital and human-delivered services have shown individual successes, this project explores novel methods for optimizing their combined integration.
